Abstract = {It has been actively discussed recently what statistical methods are appropriate
when one is interested in testing hypotheses about the origin of beta diversity, especially
whether one should use the raw-data approach (e.g., canonical analysis such as RDA and
CCA) or the distance approach (e.g., Mantel test and multiple regression on distance
matrices). Most of the confusion seems to stem from uncertainty as to what is the response
variable in the different approaches. Here our aim is to clarify this issue. We also show that,
although both the raw-data approach and the distance approach can often be used to address
the same ecological hypothesis, they target fundamentally different predictions of those
hypotheses. As the two approaches shed light on different aspects of the ecological hypotheses,
they should be viewed as complementary rather than alternative ways of analyzing data.
However, in some cases only one of the approaches may be appropriate. We argue that S. P.
Hubbell’s neutral theory can only be tested using the distance approach, because its testable
predictions are stated in terms of distances, not in terms of raw data. In all cases, the decision
on which method is chosen must be based on which addresses the question at hand, it cannot
be based on which provides the highest proportion of explained variance in simulation studies.},
